The SMP assembly was shifted approximately 1.0" north today by pushing it, braced against the south wall, using a 100 Ton capacity air lifting bag supplied by Beamlines Group.  The move was one of the action items identified at the Gate 4A/4B close-out review.  During commissioning of the SMP, TM3 was installed into the vacuum vessel, which required the crane to be all the way at its south limit, so the move is to provide some margin for future use, particularly if TM1 is put in the SMP as the extent of its shielding is slightly larger than the other modules.

One of the air fittings for the lid actuation cylinder on the north side was damaged during the move.  It was replaced and correct functionality of lid actuation was then confirmed.

TM2 has been connected  in ITE.  All turbo-pumps are started.

 TM#2 with the SiC#39 target has been moved from the south hot cell to the east target station.

 Results from the electrical check with the old SiC#38 target and the new SiC#39.

TM2 was disconnected in ITE yesterday.

 TM#2 with SiC#38 has been moved from ITE to the south hot cell.

TM2 was connected in ITE 12th Nov. attach checklist

 The targets UC#22,23,24 have been repackaged into the newer stronger pails, and have been placed back in the mini vault with new numbers. See attached PDF for details.

 The spent Ta#59 was moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. See the attached for details.

TM2 was moved from the Conditioning Station to ITE, with SiC#38 target.

Helium pressure leak check on TM2 HS line at TCS is done. No leak. Also, Helium are sprayed to gas line adapter and fittings. No leak. TM2 is connected at TCS. Anode plug on TCS is connected to module 52pin connector. Water system is started. Vacuum pumping down is good. HV cover will be installed today.

Thursday, November 07, 2019, 10:35: Tested source to 30 A on TGHT, TBHT and COIL. ANODE at 100 V.

Tuesday, November 12, 2019

The FEBIAD source worked well over the weekend. The anode current limit was adjusted twice to stop voltage limiting. About 5E-8 A on the FC with TGHT=580A, TBHT=300A, ANODE=200V,150 mA, COIL=50A. Bias was conditioned to 30 kV

 Results of the electrical check of TM#2 with the old Ta#59 target and target free.

Ta#59 has been removed from TM2 and it is now ready for electrical check.

 TM#2 with Ta#59 has been moved from the ITE to the south hot cell.

Feibiad gas line for ITE and its adapter fittings for TM2 are tested today by installing them on a dummy water stem. No leak on VCO fitting, adapter o-rings, and all Swagelock fittings of this assembly. Manual valve on gas line works fine.  The positional check on gas line between TM2 and ITW will be fulfilled next Tuesday during module disconnection. 

Yesterday a leak was discovered in the ISAC-I experimental hall. The leak appears to be at the connection between the evaporator and the return water line. 1 in of water was lost from TCS:TK1. The water is currently valved off to prevent further leakage.

A fault reportt has been submitted to mechanical services - awaiting response.

Leak repaired by Mechanical Services. A brass fitting had cracked and was replaced with a galvanized fitting.

The SMP main control panel and remote control module were updated in order to implement the following items which were deemed desirable during commissioning:
 

•     24 VDC line added to E-stop circuit:
  
  Previously the E-stop relay cut power to only 120 VAC. This means that the lid rotation motor would stop instantly, but since the lid open/close valve is powered by 24 VDC which comes from a power supply unit, there would be a short delay while the unit powers off in which the valve was still active. This could result in a situation in which, for example, someone is operating the pendant to close the lid and another person recognizes a hazard and presses the E-stop on the main panel, but the lid does not stop closing for approximately 3 seconds while the operator is still holding the "close" button down.
  
  To rectify this issue, the 24 VDC line was routed through a NO contact of the same E-stop relay that controls the entire 120 VAC supply to the system. This was tested on Oct. 25, 2019 - working.
  
   
• Status feedback signals to remote control room:
  
  Previously status signals for "Lid raised", "Lid Centred", "CW Limit", and "CCW Limit" were only displayed as light indicators on the main control panel. It was determined during remote operation that it would be helpful to have these signals sent back to the software interface so that an operator does not need to use a camera to look at the light indicators.
  
  
  Electrical drawings and cable schedule have been updated to reflect these changes. The SMP will be tested again using the commissioning plan checklist to confirm no there were no inadvertent effects on the rest of the same from these changes.
